ANR® Clinic - Advanced Opioid Treatment CenterReviews of anrclinic.com

I had ANR in November 2023. It was almost 8 months ago, but it feels like thousands of years, and even then, it feels like it happened to someone else. Not because ANR changed me, but because they changed how I see myself in the mirror. After so many physicians and addiction “experts” decided that I would always be a drug addict, the ANR staff proved otherwise. And that, for me, was the best thing this treatment gave me. Of course, they took my cravings and withdrawals away for good. But this treatment also gave me life and direction. I will be forever grateful to these people.

Great staff. It really works if you lean into it.

It all started with a continuing and throbbing pain in my back and neck that was diagnosed as degenerative disc disease. I said, “All right, ok, I’m 40 years old now and I played a LOT of high contact sports, lots of banging around, ok, I guess it follows”. So, after chiropractic, acupressure, trigger point injections, hot treatment, cold treatment, stretching, deep tissue massages, this toothache-type pain persisted. I had to work so my Osteo Doctor referred me to a Pain Management Doctor who prescribed hydrocodone, which cut the pain down maybe 30% to 40% but not enough to allow me to focus on my very detailed and pressure packed job (and, yes, I DO believe that stress contributed to this situation). When I told my doctor that I wasn’t getting the relief I needed I was told about a new pain medication that was supposedly not addictive and long lasting (this was late 1990s, early 2000s). I said, “Let’s go!”. It was time released OxyContin. (Maybe some of you can relate…). Well, it worked. My pain went WAAAY down and I was able to work. The problem is that no drug comes without a cost, a side effect, a Gotcha!. This was, in fact, a highly addictive drug that, while effective, only masked the real problem. After a boating accident that injured a disc in my thoracic many years later and still needing to work I found it was easier to stay on the pain meds, at a higher dosage now because, like most drugs, a tolerance is built up requiring more. Anyway, to make a long story stop, in December of 2020 I miraculously found Dr. Waismann and made the call. They got me in right away, explained that my brain and central nervous system were not functioning properly and that I would be much better after the procedure. No withdrawals, no Cold Turkey (the absolute WORST experience, trying to stop…wow). I woke up the day after feeling weak but better. Today, at 65, I am in the shape of my life and doing great! Thank you, Dr. Waismann, I am now alive and thriving!

ANR saved my life. Here are some things you need to know: 1. Answer the phone when they call for pre-treatment calls. You will recover faster if you follow everything they say. 2. During the consultation, be honest with them. For once, you'll feel like somebody is on your side. No matter how messed up your situation is, they need to know. They've seen it all. 3. They don't want you to arrive at the day of the treatment in withdrawals, but dont take too much.I was nervous, so I stopped taking them much before admission. So don't :) 4. Again, listen to every word they say, especially what John and April tell you. They are angels and they know what they're doing. 5. You may be lucky enough to meet Dr. Waismann himself! I was fortunate to meet him briefly. From what I understood, he visits there every now and then. 6. If you can, book another day or two and stay in Florida. It's beautiful there and it will help you recover faster by traveling and moving around. 7. I know they say it will take 3-4 days to come back to normal. It will most likely take more. Prepare for a week of being tired. 8. ANR works. This is the most important thing you need to know. Because we all tried many treatments and failed. But you need to commit to this and wanting to be healthy. Good luck!

If you can come up with that kind of money, ANR is by far your best option. Simply because this treatment is really effective. Other 'treatments' that give you methadone, Suboxone, or let you throw up on the floor for two weeks and then send you back home with more withdrawals and cravings, consider themselves treatments too. This is how crazy this world is. ANR truly heals your dependency. You won't remember the treatment and will wake up with no withdrawals, just feeling fatigued, like you ran for 10 hours. But it's bearable. You'll sleep until the morning, and it will get better and better. You gonna be discharged the same day, I left around noon. You will still be tired but won't feel the hunger, the cravings, the desire – it's gone. Whats left is optimizing your system to recover faster. You'll meet an angel named John who will help you and check on you until you fly back. Then Cindy and April, also sweet and very nice, will continue to stay in touch with you. Everybody at ANR was so nice and went above and beyond. Good luck!!!

ANR is simply a lifesaver. There is nothing else like it out there. To put it plainly, it is the ONLY thing that works for addiction, I've done that many times, and nothing else works. The entire hsopital and office staff are amazing, so helpful, and caring. Do yourself a favor and if you want your life back call them. 20k is a lot of money but its nothing compared to saving your life.

ANR really literally saved my life. I tried to other rehab methods and relapsed almost immediately. It's been 6 months since my ANR treatment.. I lost 50 lbs going to the gym, I'm back at work and have thousands of dollars actually saved.. I've never looked or felt better. If you need help, this IS the place.
